And it’s time for my fourth and final #MARCHintosh project for 2026, TalkCrawler AD. It’s an After Dark Module for TalkCrawler that will let you watch #GlobalTalk leisurely scroll past in one of two different styles

There is a standalone version as well if you don't want to install After Dark

Note you will need to run a re-scan in TalkCrawler Lite 1.4 (just released) before it can show anything

Available on landisk/Blackbird on BaroNet. Video in first reply.

Here's a short video demo!

Tidbits that didn't fit in the first post:

The module also runs in "DarkSide of the Mac" if you want a less crashy screensaver host.

I did not have time to optimize my graphics code at all, so it will be very sluggish on 68k Macs - the reduced screen size options are for them. It also helps reducing your screen to 256 colors.
